Thank you for considering Yorkshire AV for your next investment in your AV or HiFi setup.

We use an inventory tracking system which states if item(s) are in stock and if not, what are the likely lead times.
Who do you use for delivery?
Our primary delivery agent is DPD. Where orders are shipped directly from Yorkshire AV, we always use DPD who offer a fabulous service at competitive rates.
If we drop ship (i.e. direct from the supplier) then the delivery agent is out of our control. It is generally DPD or UPS however - we rarely see other carriers used.
Selecting "Next Day" delivery does not mean you'll receive your item the next day in some cases. It's the next day from when the item(s) are in stock with us. If there is an urgent need then please contact a member of staff via the Live Chat or telephone (01757 826111) to check on live stock levels.
Certain product(s) are delayed in manufacturing due to semi-conductor shortages across the Globe. We'll keep you informed as to your order progress and a likely ETA once we get updates from the manufacturers.

Product details
As featured in our demo room - the HiFi Racks Podium Reference is a stunning piece of HiFi furniture.
Note - these units are made to order and typically take 6 weeks to deliver.
One of our most popular products with both customers and critics alike, the Podium Reference is a four-legged hi-fi rack available in standard sizes or made to your bespoke requirements - in any width, depth or height. We don’t charge a premium for a bespoke size, just the cubic millimetre cost in line with our standard sizes.
Each tier is made from solid 40mm hardwood staves, providing stiffness and stability, adding to the rack's density as well as absorbing vibration. Each board is bonded concave to convex to add to the board’s rigidity. This rack comes with 46mm² solid hardwood legs which are removable and can be made to any length, allowing it to fit around your system and give adequate space for heat dispersion.
The Podium Reference is modular with each tier designed to be placed seamlessly on to the next., giving you the flexibility to adapt and upgrade your rack with extra tiers and/or longer legs as you add to or change your equipment.
Ideal for
Naim, Linn, Rotel, Arcam, Musical Fidelity, Audio Lab, Cambridge Audio, Marantz, Luxman, T&G

Please check internal measurements of rack and external measurements of equipment to ensure the correct fit for your set-up.
Leg Length
When selecting the appropriate leg height for your rack, this is the clearance between the two plinths including the spike, but please note that this does not include the thickness of the plinths (40mm). Any leg length is available at no extra cost, enabling you to specify the exact length to meet your requirements. Don’t forget to leave adequate spacing above items that run hot for effective heat dispersal - the required spacing can usually be found within your product manual.
LP Pack
This offers a tidy storage solution for your vinyl records. When selecting this addition, one of the tiers will be allocated to create this offering, incorporating two extra legs on each side with a rear crossbar for support. This can be made to fit any width and depth. Please note that if you select this option one of the tiers will be allocated to the LP pack. You may wish to add an additional tier for this option if you require the other tiers to fit your equipment.
Cable Management
This offers a neat solution for all of your cables presented at the rear of the rack, manufactured from 22mm thickness wood which will attach to the back of the rack to minimise the cluttered look of messy cables.
Castors
Castors are a 65mm high wheel. Selecting the castor option will mean that you will lose the legs on the base level of your rack, with castors manufactured directly into the base plinth. Interchangeable legs with castors are available upon request.
Isolations
Isolation plinths are available in 22mm or 40mm thickness. If selecting an isolation plinth, this will default to 22mm but can be upgraded to 40mm by contacting our team at +44 (0) 01977 666 901. Our 22mm isolation plinths are manufactured from solid oak, so if you have chosen one of our more exotic woods for your rack, please note that the isolation plinth will be a close, but not exact, match in colour with a stain used on the oak. The 40mm isolation plinths will be manufactured from your choice of exotic wood and will match your selected option.
